Name : Human ALK-7 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human ALK-7 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-terminus. It contains Glu21-Glu113.[Accession | Q8NER5-1]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 11.11 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 20-40 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Supplied as 0.22 μm filtered solution in 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl (pH 7.5).

Reconstitution :

Storage and Stability :
Valid for 12 months from date of receipt when stored at -80°C. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human ALK-7 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human ALK-7 is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC.

Background :
Arterial stiffness is an important feature of diabetic macrovascular complications. Activin receptor-like kinase 7 (ALK7), a member of type I transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptors, is correlated with pathogenic risks of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases and may be involved in cardiovascular remodeling.

Synonyms :
ACTR-IC; ACVR1C; ALK7
